Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make lightly salted pink salmon for salmon? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use any vegetable oil of your choice. Fish - preferably fresh. If you have frozen, defrost it in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Gut the pink salmon, cut off the head, wash and dry with napkins.

3. STEP 3

   

   Make a neat cut along the ridge on the pink salmon. Take a thin carving knife for this.

4. STEP 4

   

   Separate the fish fillets from the bones.

5. STEP 5

   

   Leave the skin on the fillet, do not cut it off.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the pink salmon fillet into portions approximately 5 cm thick.

7. STEP 7

   

   In a separate bowl, mix salt and sugar in equal quantities.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the fish in one layer at a distance from each other in a suitable salting container.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the pink salmon pieces with a mixture of salt and sugar. You can add some freshly ground black pepper. This way the taste will be different - a little spicy, I advise you to try it!

10. STEP 10

    

    Lay out all the pink salmon in layers, sprinkling them with the dry mixture. Then put the dishes with fish in the refrigerator for a day. The source says that the fish can be eaten after 3 hours, but I waited longer. To prevent the fish from becoming airy, you can cover the dish with cling film.

11. STEP 11

    

    When you think the pink salmon has been salted enough, drain off the excess liquid and dry each piece well with paper towels.

12. STEP 12

    

    Pour vegetable oil over the fish and store in the refrigerator. When pink salmon is soaked in oil, it will turn out even more tender and juicy. It is best to store it in the refrigerator for no more than one week.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bon appetit!

Many people probably love red fish. But the prices for salmon and trout, to put it mildly, are “biting.” And so I found on the website a more economical recipe for lightly salted pink salmon for salmon at home. I decided to try it and the result was impressive. The fish turned out tender, lightly salted and very tasty. I filleted the pink salmon, cut it into portions, put it in a mold, sprinkling the layers with a mixture of sugar and salt. And added a little pepper. I used sugar and salt in equal proportions. I put it in the refrigerator overnight. And in the morning I poured out the accumulated liquid and added vegetable oil. I cut it into thin slices and placed it on pieces of loaf with cream cheese! Mm...very tasty! Lightly salted pink salmon fruit salmon at home is ideal as a snack, for tea drinking..., and just delicious to eat!

I made lightly salted pink salmon at home for the New Year's table. Pink salmon, I had it frozen, previously defrosted. Since the recipe does not require removing the skin from the fish, I cleaned it, removing the scales, and rinsed it. Then I cut off the head and tail, separated the fillet from the bones. I cut each fillet into portioned pieces and sprinkled them with a mixture of salt and sugar. I took 2 tbsp of salt. l., less sugar than in the recipe, only 1 tbsp. l. I placed the pieces of fish in a plastic container in layers, closed the lid and put them in the refrigerator. A day later I looked into it. There was some liquid in the container, I drained it. To take the sample, one portion of the fish was cut into pieces. The pink salmon was perfectly salted. Its taste is delicate and very pleasant. I didn’t find any traces of sugar in the taste of the fish, although I used a little sugar. We ate the fish with great pleasure, making delicious sandwiches with white bread and butter. Thank you very much for the recipe!
